When we launched the Better World Fellowship last year, the goal was clear: to build a leadership accelerator that nurtures socially aware, empowered, and action-oriented employees committed to driving meaningful change—within San Miguel and beyond.
Our pioneering batch of 10 fellows, representing various SMC business units, took part in sessions designed to equip them with the tools and confidence to drive impact. We closed out the program with our fellows presenting their capstone projects to SMC President and COO Paul Ang.
A huge thank you to our partner, Work In Progress (WIP), and to our mentors and speakers for generously sharing their time and expertise with our fellows:

- Dani Nakpil — Clay Ventures
